Personally I would change it as they are a crush type gasket.
If your stuck for time and need the car you can but try.

I presume you mean the gasket between manifold and cat section. I find changing the cat section takes and hour or more, and I would not want to do it all over again for the cost of a £3 gasket. One is instructed to avoid using grease or any gasket compound lest it poison the catalyst. I keep spares hanging on my garage wall.
